During his high school career, Hayden was an active member of the Rayne FFA Chapter, where he developed a passion for agriculture, leadership, and service. Through his involvement in FFA, he gained valuable experiences that helped shape both his personal and professional goals.

As an FFA member, Hayden participated in leadership and career development activities that strengthened his communication, public speaking, and leadership skills. Whether serving his chapter, competing in events, or advocating for agricultural education, he embraced every opportunity to grow and make a positive impact on those around him.
